Cro'tfte right tcay td work. my brothei I am sorry that, there is so m uch need of the admonitions I am about to give. Depend on it, yoa do qot, work it right 7 or yea wchiM makev your iarjns and stock twice aVrqfitable as they now are.'. Ma ny of you farm toomucH. : You ;would Cnd it much tnore profitable to farm twenty acres well. ! than forty , by halves. : The last seasonal made my groupd produce at the rate of one' hundred, bushels of Indian . corn to the acre. Is this hot much better than a common'crop of thirty or- forty bushels? !Yon will most certainly, say it is, and with the same-breath ask bor. I manage to make it produce so plentifully i . My ground being much infestedVith mice or moles, and also overrun with grubs and other vermin;; I put on, early in the month of J4arch, abenteven bushels of salt to the acre, which - thoroughly destroys all ; kind of vermin, being an excellent strong manure ; early in April, I gave h a good coat of stable manure, and ploughed and -worked'1 the ground qver and over, until it became completely mellow ; I then had every corn hole filled with hog manure, and after dropping rhy.corn, (which had been previously soaked, in warm water) J scattered a pint of lime over every hill, and then covered the whole with 'a4 little mellow earth. 'In about cue week the corn began to come up- plentifully, after vwhich I nursed it with the plough and hoelevery other week for eight weeks, at which t vnte it was as high as my head, and not a spire of it was destroyed either by the frost, grub, or brush. My other things I ma nured and nursed equally well, and I have r "been amply paid for all .my extra 1 care" and trouble, as I raised more than twice as much per acre as. many of my neigh- cors, ana aia it in mucn less ume. x mean I got all my harvesting done two or three weeks before many . others. This is ac complished in a great measure by redeem- id the morning.; then, if the day be very sultry and not, J lie by from 112 to 3, and rest. I then feeT, refreshed and able to work until quite dark.; This I call work ing it right whereas, should I lie in .bed until the sun be up and thame me haun$ the tavern at night, drink too much whis key,, but half. manured half , plough, half plant, halt nurse, naif, harvest, and do every thing else by. halves, I surely should not 44 work ft right,' nor get half acrop. I shall now conclude, by giving you, for further consideration, a few. excellent ob servations from a wiser head, perhaps, than my own, which I shall endeavor to improve for myself, and hope every bro ther farmer. will do likewise, viz : . 41 1 often say.to.njyself, what a pity it is . our farmers do not work it right. When I see a man turn his cattle into the road, to run at large,' and waste their dung, dur ing a winttrVday, I -say 'this man doe not work it rig)it Ten loads of good ma :nurei at least, is lost in a season, bv this slovenly practice and all for what ? For nothing, indeed, but to ruin his farm. . So, when I see cattle late in the fall, or early in the springs rambling in a meadow or mowing field, pouching the soil, and breaking the grass I say to my self this ft an doe not work it right. : ' I So, when I see a barn yard, with a drain to it, I say the owner does not work it right, for how easy is it - to make a yard hollow, or. lowest in the middle to receive the urine and; all the wash of the sides. which will be thus kept dry for the cattle. The wash and urine of the yard mixed with any kind of earth, or putrid straw, is excellent mannre;'yet how much do our. farmers lose by neglecting these; in fact they. do not workit right. ; ;; V When I see a farmer, often going to the retailer's store, with a bottle, or: jug, cr lounging about a tavern, or. wrangling 'a bout politics or quarrelling with and de faming his ueighhor's good1 name, I am certain such la man does noh work it v"- ft A PENN FARMER. .

Such, a man . bears not tne mark of -piety. - Take care always to jve so much business upon your - hands, tyou may not, for want Tbfi necessary "ployment, be led, to speak evil of others, eyer take a' pleasure in hearing others viled, but accustom ycnrself to have paifcicnon their infirmities, rather vu rcioice ar thPtn if -von near n person slandered; and know any good of him, reveal it,; .whichimay at least coun terbalance the detraction, ancLso far pre serve his reputation. -Let JtaIwayV he a maxim with you, that it costs you nothing,' and ! that Jt is the smallest fayor you can showyour neighbor, tQ speak well, or, at least, not e vil of h(im," particular j in pub lic places. "When you find an inclination iny6ursel(.toldefame;po'ther1av;.youf hand on your heart, and a?k yourself whether you. have riot merited the : same' or a worse reprehension. Examine your mind how ytm have been' able to bear aspersi6ns cast on you by 'others ; and though you may 'have the resolution . to despise thenvconsider another may not. It may perhaps be an affliction to him ; and this affliction may be attended with other evil consequence ' Inquire ;harrow-' ly into the certainty of what you: intend to say of another ; whether you can affirm the truth of it bf . your own knowledge, or only by hearsay. , If the latter. It . may be groundless, and you may justly, draw up on yourself the character of a wicked defamer. Ifv the former, then consider whether it mav nnt be a fripnrfk- ah of- !(fice to conceal it, as to relieve a neighbor unaer necessity. Perhaps the person in question has at some time wronged- you. If not, you are. about1 to commit a piece of cruelty - ., and if he have, your f lander is, at best, but the fruits of revenge and malice. Recollect, likewise, whether that , person has never, done vou a favor; if he uc, you aaa to this, vice the sm ot in gratitude; and if not, may he not have an opportunity of doing it in future ? May not the .time' come.' when, bv the instabili- j ty of the thbgs.cf this life, his:good will may be of service to you? Kever retail nor believe the slander which comes from one relation against another; it generally proceeds from some family pique, or some vile i paksion of the" heart, for a person who regards his relations as he ought, and as he is commanded, will never de fame them,1 but will forgive, or at least conceal trifling faults.' Think as far for ward as possible, and reflect upon, the various : consequences which a may .arise fromjdetraction. .Though,; at first, they may be little- regarded ;. the greater may ! be the danger hereafter: A slanderer always finds his match, who pays in -his own coin; he is hated and despised by all men ; is liable to be involved in law suits, and falls intn broils and quarrels, ; which are often not to be ended but by bloodshed. Consider that though detrac tion may not always be punishable in this world, yet it is a decided breach of the ninth commandment, and incurs eternal punishment. in the world to come. Final ly mind your own business ; govern'your passions ; pay your debts ; be charitable towards those who happen to differ from you : relieve the Door and the oppressed : be kind to the s:ck and afflicted ;: be m i dustrious in getting, and prudent in spend l ing, and you will grow in riches ; be ho nest and cblieme to vour family and j neighbors, and you will grow in esteem; ! be no blasphemer or fanatic'-but .soberly religious, and you will grow in the favor i f rA i ". : 1 1 i i v j i j uuu, auu wut uc iiajjijy ucrc tuu iicrc- Jatter. - . ; , , - . 15. -. by spTiionrrr.
